[Zope] Keys in Request

[Philip Kilner]

Hi List,

Can't figure this out - need help!

In a Script (Python), I'm testing for the presence (or more precisely 
the absence) of a key in the request, like so: -

request=context.REQUEST

if not request.has_key('the_key'):

The problem is that the test always fails (e.g. it acts as though the 
key is absent, even when it is not). If I modify the test to check for a 
form filed, it works fine.

What am I doing wrong?
